The German 3 Ton Cargo Truck saw extensive action on the front line especially so during the Eastern Front Campaign of 1941 'Barbarosa'. The truck was further popularised in the film 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' during the famous chase scene towards the end of the film.

'Built on the chassis of the Tiger I tank, this intimidating looking 'panzerjger' or 'tank hunter' vehicle also sported an improved version of the feared 88 mm gun. Although thick-skinned and powerfully armed, it also suffered from poor mobility and a host of mechanical issues that shadowed its early successes against Russian armour on the Eastern Front.

During World War II General Motors was a primary supplier of military vehicles to U.S. and Allied governments.The most outstanding of those vehicles was the GMC model CCKW350 series, 2½ Ton 6x6 Truck (called the “Deuce-and-a-Half” by GIs).From 1940 through 1945 GMC built over 528,000 6x6 military trucks.

The Forces of Valor replica is of a Deuce-and-a-Half with outfitted and antiaircraft guns.
